And now for something completely different. Ya’ll know how through this Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series, we’ve been looking at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles, right? And how we’ve been chatting with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world, right?

Well then, today we take another walk on the wild side. I bring you Part 1 of my conversation with a true original. My guest is the one and only Debra Christina Darling.

Debra self-identifies as a straight drag queen. That’s right you heard me; he’s a straight man who crossdresses, and has done so for most of his life. But what’s so special about that? Lots of straight men crossdress. This is true! But few are as “out there” and as willing to challenge some of the popular notions of sex and gender held by both those inside, and outside, the crossdressing community. I can assure you sex fans, Debra has balls and the attitude to match; thus the drag queen designation, don’t cha know.

Today we’re back at Seattle’s very own Sharma Center with its oh so charming Executive Directors, John and Deanna. And we’re all together to bring you Part 2 of our chat about Swinging, Polyamory and Open Relationships.

If you somehow missed Part 1 of this insightful discussion look for last week’s podcast #127 on the Dr Dick’s Podcast Page. You’ll find that tab at the top of this page. Or you can use my site’s search function. Just type in Podcast #127 and don’t forget the # sign.

This is part of my Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series, don’t cha know. Where we take a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles; and chat with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world.

Today we take another audio field trip. I have the distinct pleasure of introducing the Co-Executive Directors of the amazing Sharma Center right here in beautiful downtown Seattle.

John and Deanna welcome us to the center, show us around, talk about themselves, their lives together; we discuss polyamory, swinging and the sex positive mission of the Sharma Center.

This oh so charming and insightful couple add their voices to this Sex EDGE-U-cation series. As you know, in these podcasts, we’re taking a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles. And we are chatting with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world. And John and Deanna fit that bill exceptionally well.

John and Deanna and I discuss:

Swinging, Polyamory and Open Relationships; what’s alike about them and what’s different.

Today I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to an artist, a legend and an icon. My guest is the one and only BEAU! Before there was the proliferation of talented gay artists we enjoy today, there were a handful of pioneers who challenged convention and broke new ground with their lusty homoerotic images. Beau is one of those pioneers.

Today’s show is the latest installment in this series of interviews called The Erotic Mind. These conversations with noted erotic artists, like BEAU, help us understand something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form.

Be sure to check out BEAU’s beautiful and seminal artwork and see why he is responsible for launching an entire genre gay male erotica. You can find his work HERE or on his publisher’s site HERE.

Today we take an audio field trip. I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming another Seattle-based personality; the nationally renowned and respected dominatrix and educator, Lady Lydia. We visit with her in her dungeon, don’t cha know. Those of you who have been paying attention will know that Lady Lydia is the very first female voice in this series called Sex EDGE-U-cation. So yeah for that, huh?

In this series we take a look at the world of fetish sex, kink and alternative sexual lifestyles. We investigate topics both familiar and exotic. And we are chatting with prominent educators, practitioners and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles from all over the world.

Lydia and I will be exploring all sorts of interesting topics; not least among them is her 10-year career as a professional BDSM top here in the Emerald City. This is edgy and thought provoking stuff, sex fans. You don’t want to miss a moment of this.
